Bridgeport, CT – A four-goal performance powered Felician University men's soccer to a commanding 4-0 victory over the University of Bridgeport on Wednesday evening at Knights Field. The Golden Falcons struck once in the opening half before adding three more goals after the break, while Mathias Kristoffersen and the Felician defense delivered another clean sheet in conference play.
